      You could try selling cookies at Beck's house and he'd think it was a veiled threat.

      Yeah, I heard some SEIU goons speaking about Beck sleeping with the fish. I thought it was a threat but turns out he's just sleeping with them for the hallibut.

          Girlie handwriting...? Did he read it carefully? Are we sure it wasn't the real estate lising for Rush Limbaugh's apartment?

      Much of what Beck says could be interpreted as a veiled threat. If he can't admit to that why should anyone take seriously his claims of veiled threats by others?

        seriously, not a day goes by without Beck calling Van Jones a communist. There are 2 million conservative dummies out there who don't know anything about anything, but they know Van Jones is a communist. If you actually read his wikipedia page you see what an accomplished person he is. Far more accomplished than Beck will ever be. In fact, his stance on green jobs is market based and definitely not communist.

        One day, instead of calling Van Jones a communist (and thus inviting communication that Beck can only perceive as threats), Beck should encourage his audience to do their own research.

          That is so true. They don't know that Hawaii is a state but they know that Van Jones is a "commie ba**ard." Glenda doesn't want people to do research or be exposed to facts, he just wants to lay it out there for them to understand - a lesson in ignorace, revision and propoganda of the first degree.

      How is LBJ less progressive. i find that insulting. Is it because he escalated the vietnam war? Is that what makes him okay in these moron's minds? COME ON! LBJ was the last real democrat we had in this country. He earned the right to be called a radical by people that still think being gay is a radical concept.

      Why couldnt have beck said radicals in the 50s? I really think he totally missed his potential bff forever - good ol' Joe mccarthy. Beck is like mccarthy's long lost grandson. How could he not ever mention him? How can beck not know about his roots? His ancestry? It would be like a progressive knowing nothing about various aspects of bryant and taft as well as teddy roosevelt. You gotta know your roots. its who you are as a person. And beck is Joseph mccarthy so he might as well start reading about himself,

      If obama was half the president LBJ was on domestic policy, we would be in far better shape right now. LBJ will likely have done more in a his first two years as obama will accomplish in his entire first term. LBJ's passing of the civil rights act, voting rights act, medicare, medicaid, the first real gun control (like preventing ex-cons from buying them), immigration reform, wilderness preservation, government transparency, expansion of resources into higher education including scholarships, food stamps, community service programs, bilingual and multicultural programs, banning discrimination from home sales or employment opportunities, public broadcasting and barring discrimination of disabled and elderly will probably forever stand as the greatest single term in the history of the progressive legislation. Most of these programs were not only progressive but remain incredibly popular and have improved this country beyond even LBJ's dreams. The last and really the only president to declare war on poverty without the country being in a recession truly deserves some recognition. He is certainly the last president to even attempt to eradicate poverty in the country and despite his foreign policy nightmare, he probably did more for this country than most of us will ever fully realize or appreciate.

        I understand your sentiment and agree with it, but LBJ was President of a nation that wasn't up to its eyebrows in debt. Obama is facing the reality that since then, conservatives have borrowed and squandered ten-and-a-half trillion dollars with nothing to show for it, using the potential earnings of people who haven't even been born yet as collateral. It's no wonder conservatives oppose abortion. They can't afford for those babies not to be born when they've already picked their pockets. Bad enough to steal candy from babies, but these people steal candy from babies that haven't even been conceived yet.

        Well, LBJ DID have the moment of the civil rights movement and the assassination of Kennedy. We live in different times now. Nixon would be branded as a liberal by all the Fox people.

          I liked LBJ but everyone forgets the final price of the Vietnam War coupled with what was referred to as a "guns and butter" budget. The bill came due in the seventies.

          True - eisenhower didn't even resemble the current republican party. He is probably the only republican president this century I would have voted for and that says a lot considering that obama isn't even close to progressive to me. Eisenhower vastly expanded social security, set up the interstate highway system and launched the space race. Not to mention, his brilliant speeches. And of course, he sent the arkansas national guard to little rock providing the teeth that the board vs. board decision needed to take affect. His foreign policy was far more modern day republican but his domestic initiatives don't even resemble the modern day republicans. He would likely be a democrat today. This is why i think the republican party has been hijacked, moved the country to the extreme right and forced the rest of us to shift more to the center. So now we have a radical christian fundamentalist right party and a center party. Calling this healthcare reform socialism is ridiculous - it resembles a republican healthcare bill proposed in 93. Im not even sure if its center. I think a republican congress two decades ago would have written a bill like this.

      I've said it before, but it bears repeating: What you think is of little importance, Glenn. Rather it is what you can prove that really matters. You have a long ways to go even to make it to half-baked, as a nutcase.

      Glennie's response is the veiled threat. He reveals a great deal about how he sees the world and what he would do. I saw it as a gesture that he had been noticed, and they were trying to make nice. He sees it as a threat, because that is the kind of threat he would make.
